AEGRYN. CYCLE 3
When the organisation must pivot. Fast.
Technological disruption, cyber crisis, regulatory injunction or business-model exhaustion: Aegryn intervenes urgently to restructure the trajectory and preserve value.
The realities of a crisis
In moments of rupture, uncertainty paralyses decision-making. Every week without a plan costs value.
Regulatory or cyber emergency
A compliance injunction from an authority (CNIL, ANSSI, FINMA), or a major cyber incident threatening business continuity. Without a structured, documented remediation plan, reputational damage compounds the operational damage.
Model misalignment
A legacy model made obsolete by market disruption: generative AI making a product substitutable in six months, a regulation closing a market, a competitor acquiring your main distributor. A strategic pivot under time pressure without method is a pivot without a landing.
Carve-out necessity
The need to quickly divest a non-strategic subsidiary or business line to inject liquidity or refocus the organisation. Without preparation, the carve-out is rushed, assets are poorly valued and risks transfer to the acquirer undocumented.
Stakeholder trust erosion
Worried investors, banks tightening their guarantees, clients demanding continuity assurances. Without controlled communication and a credible plan, the loss of trust amplifies the operational crisis.
Our role as Operating Partner
Aegryn deploys a structured intervention framework.
Uncompromising diagnostic & 30/60/90-day plan
Immediate assessment of value leaks, cash stabilisation, redefinition of strategic priorities. A plan that separates the urgent from the important and gives the organisation under pressure a clear direction.
Technical remediation & security
Priority treatment of security flaws, reorganisation of access, critical infrastructure brought under control. Immediate documentation to meet regulatory requirements.
Interim management
Emergency placement of crisis leaders: Interim CEO, Interim CTO, Interim CISO, Interim CFO. Profiles who have already managed this type of situation.
Defensive M&A, asset isolation
Structuring the divestment of non-strategic assets (carve-out) to repair the balance sheet and free up the necessary liquidity. Identifying the residual value of each asset before any decision, in coordination with the Aegryn network.
The role of CIFSO at this stage
Targeted remediation audit
A CIFSO 5000 assessment on the identified critical dimensions to provide a situation report before bank renegotiation or emergency restructuring. This report documents what is healthy, what is at risk, and what can be divested or retained.
Certification before partial divestment
If an asset must be divested quickly, the CIFSO protocol formalises what is exploitable and documentable to reassure the acquirer despite the restructuring context. A B or A grade with a remediation plan: credibility maintained, discount limited, transaction still possible.
Who it is for
SMEs & mid-caps in turnaround
Reconfiguring the organisation and the business model in the face of internal or external disruption.
Private equity funds
Urgent operational intervention on an underperforming or partially defaulting portfolio company.
Leaders emerging from crisis
A stabilised organisation seeking to document its recovery trajectory to reassure its stakeholders.
